Never Lie: A Locked-Room Psychological Thriller

Freida McFadden is incredible. Just when I was convinced I had everything figured out… nope. Not even close. This book is fast, twisty, and completely addictive. The tension keeps building, the clues keep shifting, and every time you think you’re one step ahead, the story pulls the rug out from under you. I genuinely could not put it down, and the reveals had me sitting there like 😳 staring at the wall afterward. It’s one of those thrillers that leaves your jaw on the floor and makes you want to immediately talk about it — without spoiling it for anyone else. Freida McFadden is incredible.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It has that totally Freida way of convincing you it's all too obvious... only to pull the rug out from under you with an unexpected twist. I always find her books to be quick, fun, easy, and light reads that pack a twisty punch at the finish.

Magnificent thriller! I might enter a reading slump after this book because it will be very hard to pick up another thriller after such a jaw-dropping read. I listened to the audiobook and it kept me entertained, focused, and fully engaged from page one. It was a solid 4-star read for me until about 70% of the story. But after that… wow. It completely transformed. Twist after twist unfolded, and I truly could not see anything coming. Absolutely incredible! This was a very creative and satisfying 5-star experience. I am so glad I picked it up. After reading two 3-star books from the same author, I was skeptical about picking up another Freida McFadden novel and getting disappointed again. I couldn’t understand the hype at first. However, Never Lie completely changed my perspective. It showed me how addictive her plots can be, even when the story itself may not be traditionally “literary” or complex. Somehow, she keeps you turning the pages. Now I understand the hype around this author. I do feel it will be difficult to find another of her books that tops this one, but I will definitely continue reading more of her work. What I appreciated most is that this book does not feel like a YA-style thriller like The Boyfriend or The Teacher (which I rated 3 stars simply because they kept me somewhat engaged and I was able to finish them). Never Lie is on another level. It is pure engagement and entertainment. I highly recommend this book, especially the audiobook version. The female narrator is incredible and truly top-notch. If you want a “wow” factor after the final page, make this your next read!

The book is definitely enjoyable but I felt like the plot twist fell out of nowhere. I enjoyed the plot twist, but I just felt like it wasn't earn. I would recommend this book because it was just an enjoyable book but for me nothing too memorable.

This was a fast and easy read. I enjoyed the guessing game and twists to the story. Appreciated the extra little twist near the end.

Very good book, but extremely dark.

Omg so good! It has twists on which I wasnt expecting. Highly recommend this book

This was okay I did enjoy it but it was more of a high school level read than adult. It becomes predictable a bit

I thought this book was a very entertaining read. Short chapters, really fun story, and a twist I totally got wrong. I enjoyed myself from the start, and I'm looking forward to delving into more of Freida McFadden's books.

Felt dragged into a world of spur of moment and no other choice.

Amazing condition and story to read

Segundo livro da autora e novamente me surpreendi com a reviravolta do final. Vale a pena a leitura para quem gosta de um bom suspense.

Ho letto questo libro in quanto mi è stato consigliato, non amo leggere libri thriller ma questo mi è piaciuto davvero tanto. Sono rimasta sorpresa.
